The Crown is a biographical drama television series, created and written by Peter Morgan and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix. The show is a biographical story about the early reign of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. The first season, comprising 10 one-hour episodes, was released in its entirety on November 4, 2016.
Reception to the series was overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising cast performances, direction, writing, cinematography, , and relatively accurate historical accounts of Queen Elizabeth's reign. A second season has been commissioned.
The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 to the present day. It is expected to span 60 episodes over six seasons, the first season depicting events up to 1955, with Claire Foy playing the Queen in the early part of her reign.
Matthew Goode will join the cast in season 2, playing Anthony Armstrong-Jones, a society photographer who marries Princess Margaret. It is not known whether the role will be main cast or recurring.
Peter Morgan, who wrote the 2006 film The Queen and the 2013 stage play The Audience, is the main scriptwriter for The Crown. The directors of the television series who were also involved in the stage production are Stephen Daldry, Philip Martin, Julian Jarrold, and Benjamin Caron. The first 10-part season was the most expensive drama produced by Netflix and Left Bank Pictures to date, costing at least £100 million. A second season was commissioned and began production before the first season was released.
